GENERAL INFO

20A ERF Stake Truck offers a nice variety of B boxes despite the fact the model was quite stable in terms of variations. Released first in a B1, size 1 box, it shows a side view of a red cab and yellow bed truck, with small model numbers close to the model. A first change in the design offers ¾ view from above, with dark background numbers away from a model entirely red, in somewhat blurred drawing. Yet, a third variation was released, with lighter background, bigger numbers and a sharper drawing.

Them a B2 box was released, with even larger numbers and even darker background, still a ¾ view from above. A minor variation was later released in B3 sub-type and a size 2 to fit the model in.

Note that the drawing would be used for 2 additional variations for 20B, in larger size.

RARITY

There is no particular rarer variation for 20A. The last B3 version and the very first side view version maybe a little less common.
